[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Even as an appeals court judge, he never would retire [/b]so didn’t really need retirement savings except to support his wife after he is gone. But I would never be that far in debt on credit cards.  We pay off every month.  Unless he was buying a big block of tickets for friends and waiting for them to pay him back, it’s stupid to buy tickets you don’t have cash for.

I sort of assumed he had family money—what did his dad do?[/quote]

None of us can count on that.  Senility, dementia, chronic disease - it is downright stupid to forgo retirement savings based on "never retiring."

I am boggled that anyone with his education would be so stupid.  It tells us that he has terrible, terrible judgment. [/quote]

None of those things will remove you from the bench.  There are plenty of senile and very infirm senior status judges who still get paid.  They get good clerks who push out the work and, if they are appellate judges, sit on panels where their colleagues cover for them.  If I was guaranteed to be paid six figures until the day I dropped dead, regardless of how much work I did, I might also blow my retirement on fun stuff.[/quote]

Have you ever cared for someone with Alzheimer’s, or significant dementia?  Some people forget how to speak, do not recognize anyone, do not know/remember how to swallow.

My mother lived like this for years.

Have you ever spent time with a person with ALS? Or Parkinson’s? People in advanced stages of these diseases can barely handle the activities of daily living, much less a job. Of any kind. No matter how much support was built in.

There is absolutely no way that someone with that degree of infirmity could work. No way.[/quote]
